20-38 hours a week Remedial Massage Therapist job - work 3 to 5 days a week

So, chances are if you are reading this you are a remedial massage therapist or myotherapist looking for your next career move.

It can be a big and difficult decision, and it is often even more difficult to know if you are making the right decision.

Well, let's make it a bit easier for you.

You

You are a therapist who loves the private practice environment - but you often wonder if there is something more. More challenge, more career progression, more reward, and more in terms of the environment in which you work.

You enjoy being busy, and solving challenging problems with your patients.

Right now you are either working on your own from home and feel the desire to be part of a team, or you are working in another clinic and you may feel undervalued.

You are not afraid of rolling up your sleeves and working hard. You enjoy being busy, and this is why you are a high performer and well liked and respected by your patients.

You have diploma level qualifications in Remedial Massage Therapy or Myotherapy as a minimum qualification, so you have a provider number to bill through the health funds.

Us

At Scarborough Physio and Health, we are reshaping the health of the residents of the Redcliffe Peninsula, one person at a time. Our vision is to help all 60 000 people, and we have now helped more than 20000 - more than 1 in every 3 people, and we will not stop until we have helped positively influence everyone in our beautiful region!

We are ideally located in a large 250m2 purpose built facility, directly opposite beautiful Scarborough Beach, where our team members spend many of their lunchtimes. In a historic building that has been refitted with 9 large, private airconditioned consult rooms (each clinician has their own room) and a rehab gym fitted out with the most modern equipment, we boast one of the most visually impressive clinics in Brisbane.

Our team of 5 physios is the most experienced in the region, with more than 50 years of combined clinical experience. We have an experienced massage team of 2 remedial massage therapists operating across 2 rooms and we have plenty more demand for another massage therapist. We catch up daily to discuss our most complex patients, and help each other to develop both professionally and personally.

This role has become available as one of our massage therapists has moved into a different role, and we have an opening for our new remedial massage therapist for anywhere from 20 to 38 hours a week, worked over 3 to 5 days, with the opportunity for more hours as you build your caseload.




Our friendly and supportive admin team comprises a strong team of 4 admin with a dedicated practice manager to help you with your needs and the help of a virtual admin to help you fill missed appointments, cancellations and keep your diary full.

We are the premium physiotherapy and allied health provider in our region, with a caseload of predominantly private clients who enjoy our physio, massage and acupuncture services, and are prepared to spend the necessary time, effort and money on optimising their health. This is a feature that physios who have come from other clinics often comment on - "the patients come back and they are happy to do what I recommend that they do, which is refreshing!". Our massage prices are amongst the highest in the region meaning you earn the best rate possible.

With a robust, stable and loyal team of 15 people (5 physios, 2 remedial massage therapists, 2 psychologists, a pilates instructor and our admin team) we participate in quarterly whole team events, social events, we have external educators attend our clinic to run courses, and we are an environment of high performance.

The position

As a remedial massage therapist at Scarborough Physio and Health this is a casual role, but for the right person we are willing to offer you any hours that may work for you (based on availability of rooms). We have room availability most days. For the right person this role can become permanent after a minimum of 12 months.

Your caseload will be predominantly clients with musculoskeletal pain, with a large proportion of these clients of our existing physios. These clients are not after relaxation massage, they are after remedial massage therapy for injuries, aches and pains.

There is a large caseload of patients who have seen the massage therapist who is finishing up, and these patients will be transitioned to you.

You will do a mix of half hour and one hour appointments, with our massage appointments predominantly one hour.

Do not apply for this position if:

- You don't plan on staying in this job less than a year
- You live further than 30 minutes from our clinic (or you are not prepared to commute or relocate)
- You are a "lone wolf" - team players only
- You want to coast or cruise in your job - that is not how we do things here
- You want to be paid a fortune without justifying why you are worth it




- You think that asking patients to come back for more treatment is greedy or unethical

You are an ideal fit in our clinic if you have the following personal qualities:

- Stable in personality
- Old fashioned values
- Not afraid of hard work
- Always thinking and doing one step ahead
- A high level of empathy and emotional intelligence
- A low tolerance for office politics, fakery, bullying and games
- The ability to take feedback as a way to improve rather than personal criticism
- A burning desire to live a great life and be the best you can be
- You may have overcome one or multiple significant life challenges in your life to date, and I personally consider this to be a rare quality - resilience
- You do not wilt when life gets hard - you step up
- You love living in or near our beautiful Redcliffe Peninsula
- So what do you get?
- This is a casual position - we are after someone to fill 20 to 38 hours of work a week, and replace a therapist who was with us 2 years and the bulk of her clients will be handed over to you
- You will be paid a percentage of your takings (60% including super - one of the highest rates in the industry)
- We will generate a caseload for you
- You are working in a highly professional clinic of remedial massage therapists, physios and psychologists
- We provide full admin support
- We will do your towels! (but would appreciate if you help us with laundering them when we get busy)

What next?

So I take it you have worked out that we don't want just anyone for this position.

The next step is for you to determine whether you think you are the right person, and you would like to have a no obligation phone chat with me (Nick Schuster) to ask me any questions about the position and our clinic that you would like to ask - and there is no question I will not ask.

Please send a cover letter and resume to me at [email protected] , and we can then arrange time to have a confidential discussion about the role.

Thankyou so much and I look forward to speaking to you,
